Quitting smoking

1 Post
Newbie
Hello, I had been smoking for several years, but now I understand how it harms my health and my budget. So several months ago I decided to quit cold turkey. I understood that it is a difficult way to quit at once, I decided to learn more about vaping and e-cigs. Do you know smth about it? Is it really helpful? And can it save some money? I have found several sites and resources about e-cigs ( like VapingDaily and others) but as I understood it is a bit expensive, so I need advice.
Thank you.
Thank you.

It can be as cheap, or expensive, as you want it to be.
What do you want to know?
You only now understand that smoking is expensive and bad for your health???!!!
Vaping is probably far cheaper than smoking.
You are still smoking if you are picking somethinp to'smoke'
Preparing it, then dragging this stuff into your lungs.
You are going through all the motions of smoking, except for the nicotine,
Vaping can be just as difficult to get off. You think its healthier because of this so most people jist dont bother giving up. They just vape for years...
I gave up nearly 5 years ago after 20 plus a day, with 6 weeks of patches and a lot of determination. Of course it was difficult but if i can do it after over 50 years odf smoking, anyone can. Having said all that, good luck with it all keep your mind busy
and we will never, ever return.

I had tried the chewing gum,patches.tablets and various other methods and none worked,best i did was 9 months which i thought id cracked it until i went into hospital for a vasectomy :eek:.I was so nervous about having the snip i bought a packet of 10 and smoked most of them before i had it done.
In the end it was will power, loads of Wrigley's chewing gum and actually wanting to give up plus the smoking ban was coming and i didn't fancy having to go outside at work or pub to smoking shelter.
I'm pleased that E-cigs and vaping wasn't around when i gave up as i don't think i would have managed,don't get me wrong i still fancy one every now and again but just one and id be back on 20 a day in no time.My missus always laughs at me when on holiday and sitting outside a cafe bar will always find a table next to a smoker.....still love the smell of a cigarette when having a beer:D
It's a bit of a joke really, but I can't be bothered with the arguments with them.
Allen Carr book sorted me out, i was probably a 40 a day smoker for over 10years. Was able to just quit 1 day near the end of the book with no side effects and have never wanted or had any cravings to smoke ever since (probably a good 5years ago now).
